Walk Like an Egyptian

Weeks 2-3 of Egypt Unit (We'll post pictures of the projects as we complete them)

*Make Copies of the Ancient Egypt Lapbook, decide which activities to put in the kids' workboxes, which to do with Science Projects, and which to do as part of of the History lessons to emphasize learning.

*Make a Map of Egypt (I like how The Unlikely Homeschool pulled this off.)
  Map of Egypt for Coloring
  Cookie Map of Egypt (Would be fun if we weren't avoiding sweets)

*Use the activities at the American Research Center in Egypt for making necklaces, headdresses, scribes' equipment, and for learning about hieroglyphs and Egyptian numerals.

*Shrinky Dinky Cartouche

*Scratch-Brite Egyptian Art

*Read together from Great Ancient EGYPT Projects You Can Build Yourself.  (We have the ebook so we can enlarge the print for one of our girls) This book has great descriptions, vocabulary, and fun projects (though it could use some more colorful and exciting illustrations).  Have the kids choose projects that interest them.  Subjects include: Boats, Farming, Papyrus, Homes, Bread, Games, Tunics and Fashion, Jewelry, Amulets, Kohl and Perfume, Royal Crook and Flail, Pyramids, Temples, Mummies,  and Hieroglyphs.

*Obelisks and Peek-Inside Sanctuaries

*Egyptian Bracelet
